Back in your place

Another poem turned into a song sensing a pattern?
Special thanks to Brittney Morrison for her vocals

Lyrics:
[Intro]
Cracked ceilings, breaking daylight
Breathing in static, teeth clenched tight
Every promise, an afterthought
Shadows gathering while you plot

[Verse 1]
Screams behind doors you slammed in rage
Every wound turned to another cage
I kept receipts, you burned the page
Barefoot walking through your hurricane

[Chorus]
Ah, ah...
I’m putting you back in your place
No more running wild, no more saving face
No, oh, oh, oh place
You drew the line, I erased
You thought you won, but now you taste

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Tried to twist the truth ‘til it broke
Fed me poison hope like a joke
Watch your empire crumble, slow
You built your throne on a fault you know

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t look for mercy in my eyes (mercy in my eyes)
Your reign of pride meets its demise

[Chorus]
I’m putting you back in your place
No more running wild, no more saving face
You drew the line, I erased
You thought you won, but now you taste

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
You built your wall with spite and blame
Now the foundation cracks with shame
I found the key to every chain
Standing tall in the acid rain... Ah!!

[Instrumental Brake]

[Chorus]
I’m putting you back in your place
No more running wild, no more saving face
You drew the line, I erased
You thought you won, but now you taste

[Outro]
Cold hands breaking the locks you made
Ashes settle where your power fades
Glass-strewn ground but I walk away
Your ghost behind while I reclaim my name

[Chorus]
I’m putting you back in your place
No more running wild, no more saving face
You drew the line, I erased
You thought you won, but now you taste
